About This is the morning of the marriage. The ritual seen here is called 'gaaye-holud'. The bride is adorned with turmeric paste, sandal and oil by married women, before she takes her bath. This is all a part of the grand bridal adornment that is going to take place during the eveing, when the actual marriage will take place.

Wish I could invite you Tim, so that you could be a part of so much gaiety, so many colors, great food and laughter.

It is, INDEED, an experience.

I am glad to be a witness, if only through your eyes. Sounds wonderful to experience as a observer and as a participant.
Her face is so peaceful, you have do a great job of catching the mood of the moment.
